ROSE PLANT Marguerite Denoyel, Venissieux, near Lyon,

France, assignor to Jackson & Perkins Company, Newark, N. Y.,,a corporation of New York Application October 26, 1943, 'S:erial No. 507,719

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of hybrid tea rose plant, particularly appealing to rosarians because of its exceptionally large, graceful flowers of vivid flashing rose red color borne by medium length stem in groups of several to the stem, and its consequential value as a decorative plant.

The flowers of this new rose, as clearly shown in the accompanying illustration, are further characterized by their open center when full blown, presenting an attractive contrast of color, especially enhanced by the setting of yellowgreen young foliage.

The imbricated form of the petals and the long sepals which unfold in a decorative manner add materially to the attractiveness of this new rose.

Asexual reproduction shows that these characteristics hold true through succeeding propagations.
